Engineering discipline — a working guide

A living, interlinked guide to the habits and standards that keep a codebase and a team honest. Not a blog series in the essay-a-week sense — a wiki that happens to be published like a blog, so changes can be followed.

This section is under construction. Pages are being written and will appear here as they're finished.

What this will be

A canonical, outward-facing reference for Alyssa's engineering opinions — codebases will be able to point at it ("defer to Alyssa's page on X") rather than each re-recording her stances.

What to expect

  • Interlinked, not linear. Ideas cross-reference each other wiki-style; this isn't a chronological post list.
  • Points outward to a resource library. Pages build on existing prior art and link out to the source rather than restating it.
  • Living. Entries get revised over time. Nothing here is "done and frozen."
  • A feed of changes. Updates are published as a followable feed (RSS/changelog planned).
